This is my Darkness crossover with RWBY. I wanted to get this started a little bit while I'm still waiting for RWBY vol.2

This story might not be updated frequently since most of my time is on "Mentor". I usually worked on this when I finished with a chapter early. And you can check out my OCs profile at the end.

Beacon is one of the academies that help train young people to become Hunters and Huntresses. Many strong people have gone here and trained to control their special powers and hone their skills. Ryan is now one of those people who is headed to beacon now. The school year had already started a few months ago, but he was able to get in thanks to his adoptive father. Ryan has to be careful not to talk much about his adopted parent, because that man is the infamous mafia boss, Jackie Estacado. Ryan was now sitting in a limo with Jackie and his friends and fellow "Family" members, Vinnie and Jimmy "The Grape". Ryan stared out the window of the limo, looking worried about his upcoming meeting with the school headmaster.

"Why do you look so down, kid? Everything is going to be fine." Vinnie said.

"It's Beacon. I haven't done anything to get in there; and what if my 'Condition' screws everything up?" Ryan said.

"That's why we are taking you there. They can help you out with that." Jackie said.

"Are you sure, Jackie?" Ryan asked.

"Hey, the boss knows what he is doing. Trust me; everything is going to be alright." Jimmy said.

"See? Jimmy hasn't steered you wrong, right?" Jackie asked.

"No sir." Ryan said.

The limo stopped in front of the academy. The driver of the limo came back and opened the doors for everyone to get out. Ryan was the first to get out and he walked forward to the doors of the academy. The doors opened and a blonde woman wearing glasses walked out.

"Ryan James?" The woman asked.

"Yes ma'am." Ryan said.

"I'm Glynda Goodwitch. I serve as an instructor and secretary to Professor Ozpin." Goodwitch said.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." Ryan said.

Jackie stepped up and Goodwitch noticed him.

"Mister Estacado." Goodwitch glared at him.

"That's me." Jackie said.

"I don't know why Ozpin is allowing someone from your family to come into our school, let alone allow you to have a meeting here." Goodwitch said.

"It's this school's job to help people control their abilities and become Hunters, right? That's why Ryan is here. He needs help." Jackie said.

"I should say so if he is a part of your 'Family'." Goodwitch said while maintaining her glare.

Jackie grew angry, "Listen to me you dominatrix bitch. Ryan has done nothing in my business whatsoever. So leave him the fuck alone."

Goodwitch adjusted her glasses, unfazed by Jackie's outburst, "Follow me, gentlemen. Professor Ozpin is waiting."

They walked inside and followed Goodwitch around the school. Ryan saw some of the students and the uniforms that they wore.

"Jackie? Do I really have to wear that?" Ryan said while pointing to the uniforms.

"If they require you to, then I guess you have to wear them." Jackie said.

"I'd rather wear one of your dress suits." Ryan said.

"Well, it looks like you can finally get over that 'Stiff Clothes' problem you have." Jackie said.

Ryan rolled his eyes and continued walking. They reached a set of double doors and Goodwitch opened them. Inside was a large office with a green theme. It had large bookcases around the room, a large window overlooking the city, and a large desk in where a man with grey hair and green clothes sat. Goodwitch went up to the desk.

"Sir? The child that you granted an audience with is here." Goodwitch said.

"Good." He said.

"And Ozpin? I should warn you, his 'Father' is here as well." Goodwitch said.

Ozpin nodded and held his cup of coffee. Jackie and Ryan walked in the office. Ozpin motioned for them to take a seat in the chairs across from him. They sat down and waited for Ozpin to say something.

"Hello Ryan. How are you feeling today?" Ozpin asked.

"Nervous, sir." Ryan said.

"That is understandable." Ozpin said. He looked at Jackie, "You do know that I don't do this very often?"

"Like I told you before, this has to be done. For his sake as well as the worlds." Jackie said.

"So I heard through the phone. You sounded afraid. I must ask you one thing first." Ozpin said.

"Why am I going out of my way to help some kid?" Jackie said.

"That's the one." Ozpin said.

"Alright, I'll tell you. I have this 'Condition' that has bothered with my family for generations. I find Ryan one night and he has the same thing I do. I was scared for him and tried to help the best I could. When nothing seemed to work, I called you and asked for your help." Jackie said.

"And what is his 'Condition'?" Ozpin asked.

"Let's just say that his semblance gets out of control and he needs help suppressing it." Jackie said.

"I see." Ozpin said, "Ms. Goodwitch, please go get RWBY for me."

"Yes sir." Goodwitch said and walked out.

"I don't understand. What does a gemstone have to do with me?" Ryan asked.

"No. RWBY is a team here in Beacon. I will have them go on a mission with you and I can see your work first hand." Ozpin said.

"If you want to see what you are dealing with, then leave everyone out of this." Jackie said.

"It is a rule that all students must be assigned a team. Here Ryan can learn teamwork while controlling his powers." Ozpin said.

"No! You send anyone out there with him there is a good chance that they will get hurt!" Jackie yelled.

"Rules are rules, Mister Estacado." Ozpin said.

Jackie glared at him, "If any blood gets on his hands, it is on your young/old ass head."

Team RWBY walked with Goodwitch to Ozpin's office. Ruby tried asking why they were going to his office, but she didn't get an answer. She turned to her team.

"Do you know why we are going to the professor's office?" Ruby asked.

"You might want to ask your sister." Weiss said.

"Why is it always me!?" Yang asked.

"Because you are the guiltiest of us of doing something against the rules." Weiss said.

"Why can't Blake be the guilty person for once?" Yang asked.

"Guilty of what?" Blake asked.

"She does have a point, Yang. Blake hardly does anything except read her books." Ruby said.

Yang gasped, "How could you turn against me? I'm hurt, Ruby."

"Ladies, we are here now." Goodwitch said.

She opened the door and Team RWBY walked inside the office. There they saw Ozpin sitting at his desk with another man and boy around their age.

"Please, come in girls." Ozpin said.

RWBY walked up to the desk.

Ozpin pointed to the boy, "I would like you to meet Ryan James. He is a late edition to our first year roster. Ryan this is Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. They are the team that will help you during your initiation."

Ryan smiled at them and then quickly looked away.

"So not only are you sending him out with a team, but a team full of girls?" Jackie asked.

"Is that a problem?" Ozpin asked.

"Yeah, he's never been around any girls his age before." Jackie said.

Ozpin smiled, "Two birds with one stone."

Jackie sat back and massaged his temples in frustration.

"As for your assignment." Ozpin said to RWBY and Ryan, "You are to go to a cave in the Emerald Forest that is infested with Grimm. We have knowledge that small dust deposits are in that cave. Take care of all of the Grimm so we can investigate further and collect the dust."

"So I deal with the Grimm and I'm in?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." Ozpin said.

"What about us, sir?" Ruby asked.

"You are to help Ryan and make sure that he gets out alive. And yes, you will be graded on your performance." Ozpin said.

"How will you know if we did this or not?" Ryan asked.

"I will send out small cameras to follow you around. I will see your skills and how well you work with a team." Ozpin said.

Ryan stood up, "When do we leave?"

"Right now." Ozpin said, "Good luck to you."

Ryan walked out of the office with RWBY leaving Ozpin, Goodwitch, and Jackie to watch them from the screen where the cameras will broadcast their progress. Jackie sat back and took a deep breath.

'Good luck, kid. Whatever you do, don't let the Darkness take control.' Jackie thought.

Then Jackie heard something that he didn't want to hear. The voice of the Darkness.

In time, Jackie. The boy will be perfect. Two hosts are better than one.

Tell me how I did with this first chapter. I know it is short, but it is just starting out. The next one will be a bit longer. Whenever you see bold italics in the story, then that is the voice of the Darkness. Anyway, here is Ryan's profile.

He was beaten and bullied by other children at the orphanage for being "Weak". He tried to hide in the dark basement of the orphanage to get away from them. It worked for a few years, until he turned 13 and the other kids found him. Ryan was scared and wanted them to go away, but they continued with the verbal and physical abuse.
